Jessica has to learn how to feed Ben when he can''t eat, wrestle with red tape to secure his education and defend his basic rights in the face of discrimination. But the act of reading to Ben enriches both their lives and brings them joy.As Ben begins to thrive, alongside his two younger siblings, Jessica finds that caring for a child with unique needs teaches her about appreciating difference and doing things your own way.This uplifting story is about the power of family love, finding inner strength and, above all, hope.
